Problem with painting front fang
 
1 Attachment(s)
So i tried to paint the fangs like many other people on the forum have done. But i had some things go wrong, and its easy to tell that its an amateurs job. It is very spotty and i didnt get the entire bottom part of the fang. Is this an easy fix? Keep in mind this was my first paint modification, so i am definitely a rookie when it comes to this. Any comments would be helpful. :tiphat:

I could only suggest a DiY

Minicobra explains it pretty easy.

Follow it and you should be able to repaint over the issue spots.

By the looks of it? it seems like its primer? what type of look are you going for? matte or gloss?

Ive done mine and I used bumper paint designed for plastic in matte from Pep Boys and have not had any issue

It can be fixed. Can you lend a little more information on your painting process? What sanding / priming was involved?

This can be fixed seems like you need more coats. If you’re not liking the flat black look go gloss.

:iagree:

Or it's the way it was spray painted ... doing heavy coats (bad) ... or not spraying in a linear start / stop motion.

I used the Krylone fusion paint. The shade of the black is what i am looking for, more of a flat black.
I sanded down the fang area before painting, but i did forget to wipe down the area with an alchol wipe to get rid of the dust.
While opening the can of spray paint i accidently removed the 360 degree nozel, i thought it was a safety pin that needed to be removed before spraying. So for the first coat is was a very splotchy paint job, aim and shoot, instead of moving left to right. I noticed how bad it was, so I got a new can for the remaining coats.
To fix it i should?
